No Norwood or Snelling again for Falcons

Posted by NBC Sports on November 8, 2009, 12:28 PM EDT

It will be a busy Sunday for Falcons running back Michael Turner as both of his primary backups are again inactive because of injuries.

Jerious Norwood and Jason Snelling are on the inactive list for a second straight week because of a hip and hamstring injury, respectively. Aaron Stecker, Verron Haynes, and Ovie Mughelli are the other active Falcons running backs, but none of them had carries in last week’s loss to the Saints.

Several other Falcons starters listed as questionable, including defensive end John Abraham, tackle Sam Baker and, as previously reported, wide receiver Roddy White will be in the lineup.

On the Redskins side, safety Chris Horton will start despite being listed as questionable with a knee injury. Wide receiver Marko Mitchell is active for the first time since Week Two as the team deactivated CB Byron Westbrook, which raises the likelihood of a Westbrook-free Sunday in the NFL.
